Cubicle Etiquette

Cubicle etiquette is a must to keep harmony and balance at the workplace. Working in cubicles has its challenges. Lack of privacy, for example. Everybody sees what you are doing and everybody hears what you are saying. It is not easy, and these same feelings you have are the same feelings your co-workers have.

Here are some points to keep in mind:

1) Even if cubicles are open, that doesn’t mean you can enter freely in any of them, except yours. Ask for permission to enter before putting one foot inside.

2) If someone is on the phone, do not interrupt in any way. Wait until the person is available.

3) If someone appears to be in deep thought, do not interrupt. When ideas are flowing and then interrupted, it takes longer to get them back.
